Pleased to have this paper, about market exchange and non-tuism, now available at Thought. It's an idea I've had in the back of my head for years and have discussed with lots of different people... Great that it's finally seeing the light of day! pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/purc…

I reviewed @JKandiyali's terrific new book for Jacobin. As I hope the review communicates, I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in Marx, the politics of work, political and social philosophy, etc!
In his new book, “Flourishing Together: Karl Marx’s Vision of the Good Society,” philosopher Jan Kandiyali argues that Marx had a rich and coherent vision of the good society and that recovering it matters for socialist politics today. jacobin.com/2026/06/kandiyal…

Karl Marx dismissed speculation about a future socialist society as “writing recipes for the cookshops of the future.” A closer reading suggests he had a rich vision of the good life, based in the idea that people flourish by meeting each other’s needs. jacobin.com/2026/06/kandiyal…

Against both postwork politics and universal basic income proponents, Jan Kandiyali argues for an interpretation of Karl Marx as holding that meaningful, mutually beneficial work is not a burden to be escaped but central to what it means to live well. jacobin.com/2026/06/kandiyal…

Bonus challenge!: there are 14 years separating this paper from Stanczyk's. Does anyone know of a longer gap between response paper and original article in philosophy?

Stanczyk argues that when it comes to productive justice, Rawlsianism issues incoherent judgments. I argue that this rests on a misunderstanding of Rawls. If we get Rawls's theory right, it's actually a surprisingly promising framework for guidance wrt productive justice.
